Before your journey starts

Dad: Mia, do you remember your sixth birthday?

Mia: Of course, Dad. We made a paper boat together and set it afloat in the pool.

Mum: Look at this, Mia. Here's a new paper boat for you!

Dad: It's a letter from Mom and me. We want to share some thoughts with you.

Mia: Oh, thank you!

Dear Mia,

Time flies! You're now entering junior high! Are you prepared for this new chapter?

Elementary school was like a small, safe pool where Mom and Dad shielded your boat from the winds. But junior high is more like a wide, fast-moving river. You'll encounter new challenges and face them head-on. We're always here to support you, but sometimes you'll need to navigate on your own. Give your best effort and work diligently. Remember: no pain, no gain. Embrace the storms as you sail towards new horizons.

We've transformed this letter into a paper boat, hoping it guides you in the years ahead!

With love,

Dad and Mom

亲爱的米娅，

时间过得真快！你现在要进入初中了！你准备好迎接这新的阶段了吗？

小学就像是一个小小的安全游泳池，爸爸妈妈在那里保护着你的小船免受风雨侵袭。但初中就像是一条宽阔而快速流动的河流。你将面对新的挑战，要勇敢面对。我们始终在你身边支持着你，但有时候你也需要自己航行。尽你最大的努力，勤奋工作。记住：没有付出就没有收获。在向着新的地平线航行的过程中，要勇敢面对风雨。

我们把这封信化作了一只纸船，希望它能指引你走向未来的岁月！

全家人敬上，

爸爸和妈妈
